What should I do to my fat, pig-like brother?

Question

My brother has a problem with everyone. He's always aruging and demanding food. He knows he's well overweight, and he doesn't care. Every day, or every hour, he wants to fight me. In the end, I make him cry and he tells on me, as usual. He's 10 years old, 4'11, and weighs 130lbs. What the **** should i do to him? My parents want him to exercise, but his fat *** is too lazy. All he does is play on the computer.

We both swim and play tennis, and he hates swimming. I prefer swimming because I'm one of the fastest kids on my team. HE however, has always been slow. I guess he likes tennis because his fat *** has a choice whether or not the run for the ball. In swimming, if they tell u to do 500yd, u gotta do it cuz if u get out, they ain't gonna deal with it.

What should i do? Tease him? Dieting doesn't work because he eats so much he just goes and takes more. IF there is no food, he would cry. Please tell me what I should do because this kid is driving me suicidal!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

you should get him a colonic

Answer 2

Teasing him will just make it worse. First, you have to make him feel good about himself. If he doesn't care for himself, no one will. I would try to get him to start walking or get him a workout video.

Answer 3

you shouldn't make fun of him or tease. That probably makes him feel worse and eat more. Why don't you two cook healthy meals together or think of a new sport and play together and then like come home and cook food with broccoli and fruit and whole wheat bread. Take him to a doctor and before hand tell the doctor to prepare some things about heart disease and things that you can get if you are obese and stuff.

Answer 4

tell him how dangerous it is to be overweight and unhealthy

Answer 5

Ryan, it is your responsibility as his older brother to help him. You can only help people by leading by example. Talk to your parents and se if they can eliminate having sweets, soda and junk in the house. Your brother is using food to pacify himself. He probably does not like sports and feels pressured to participate. If he likes tennis, encourage him. Watch some macthes with him. Go practive with him. You only get one lifetime and have to make the best of it you can. That includes making others (especially your blood relatives) feel good about themselves.

I know you'll do the right thing because even though you feel angry, you care about him.

Answer 6

If you tease him, you'll make it worse. You have to tell him you care about him (and really show it and mean it). Get him interested in something he likes, like martial arts perhaps.  

Answer 7

Teasing is only gonna make him feel worse, be positive and trry to help him dont put him down.

Answer 8

Steal the power cord to his computer.

Obviously your brother doesn't care, so it's time for psychological warfare on those who allegedly do care.  Accuse your parents of slowly murdering him for letting him get so fat.  Accuse them of hating him for letting him destory himself like that.  A good screaming match in the front yard should do the trick.

Answer 9

the best thing u or ur parents can do is not to bring any junk food or stuff like that in home.and if he cries let him cry..after  a while he will stop crying..He probably burns lot of calories in swimming or tennis.. but he makes up with those by eating more and more food..so he shud cut his calorie intake..ur parents shud make him try to eat after 4-5 hours and good food like fruits and veges.

Answer 10

-Rig the scales in your house so everytime he weighs himself, it shows that hes heavier than what he actually is..

-give him healthy food instead of the junk that he eats . ie: barbecue foods, veggies etc.

Answer 11

well, in your own odd way you sound like you care about your brother's well-being and health, but because he is your brother you have a very negative way of expressing it.

I think, if nagging him is not working and suggestion number 1 to tell him how unhealthy it is (he's 10, he may not care about health)... just ignore the whole problem.  Don't invite him to go places with you, don't complain about his eating, do all the right things yourself and lead by example and not words.  If you've been bugging him a very long time, he'll notice the difference and try to get your attention again.  Just keep ignoring his negative behavior and instead acknowledge his positive behavior.  He'll want to get your attention, so he'll start doing the positive stuff to get you to notice him.

You're his big brother, and he looks up to you, he is just fighting between being himself and something he cannot figure out how to be.

TOTALLY ignore his little tantrums when there is no food.
